“Un lugar estupendo con unos dueños extraordinarios”

Me alojé en este hotel con mi mujer y mi madre en diciembre de 2010, por un breve periodo de tiempo, que nos hubiera encantado prolongar. Nada más llegar, Lester y Naty nos acogieron calurosamente y nos hicieron sentir muy a gusto de inmediato. El hotel, estupendamente ubicado y muy céntrico, es una antigua casona rehabilitada, con unos altísimos techos de madera y un aire colonial, muy relajante y agradable. Las habitaciones, sencillas pero confortables, con baño y nevera independientes, estaban limpísimas. La comida era excelente, muy fresca y abundante. La ciudad de Remedios, por su parte, tiene mucho encanto y está llena de atractivos rincones. Pero sin duda lo que conservaremos, por encima de todo, es el recuerdo de la calidad humana de Lester y Naty, excepcionales personas, conocedoras de la zona y su historia y siempre atentos a los intereses y necesidades de sus huéspedes.

“fantastic Casa with great customer service and fabulous food”

My fiancee and I chose to visit Remedios for the Las Parrandas festival. Normally for 51 weeks of the year Remedios is a sleep little town but for 1 week it comes alive with fireworks, music and thousands of people form all over cuba. However there are other attractions to make Remedios a worthwhile stop on your trip in Cuba. It is a short cab ride away from Santa Clara where you can visit the Che memorial and a cigar factory, you can also visit Cayo Santa Maria with its beautiful beaches and great diving but best of all you can stay with Lester and Naty in their wonderful Casa. Lester and Naty are wonderful hosts looking after your every need, making sure you are comfortable and relaxed, fed at every meal to bursting point with wonderfully cooked food and nothing is ever too much for them. There is nice secluded garden to relax in and Lester is always thinking about ways to improve your stay and the casa. He really knows what customer service is all about which is very refreshing in a country which is severly lacking it. We met some fantastic people during our time in Remedios and would highly recommend that you stay at Hostal Buen Viaje.

“simply the bast casa in Cuba”

My husband and I went to Remedious on 23rd December There is an amazing festival at that time which has to be seen and experienced to be believed .Because of the festival it was peak time in Remedious with thousands partying for 3 days. I was recovering from a bout of food poisoning and very anxious about the food. I need not have worried Lester and Nathy are are brilliant The first evening we arrived we had the nicest soup I have ever tasted It included some cabbage which normally I hate but the flavour was soo good it still make me hungry to think of it and that was the beginning of 4 days of great food well cooked and presented and hospitality second to none. We were made feel so welcome .Lester and Nathy could not do enough to help us When we said what we wanted to see in the area he organized day trips at very good rates saving us a lot of money (he looked for other people to share taxi's etc to our destination ) He organized a roof terrace overlooking the square to enable us view the absolutely amazing fireworks.He give us advice again and again on being careful of pickpockets etc who were attracted to Remedious because of the crowds the rest of the year Remedious is just a pretty town with a lovely square and friendly atmosphere Nothing was too much trouble I gained a great insight to Cuba from our long chats I am also very interested in food and cookery and found Lester to have a similar passion One of the other guests was ill with a fever when we were there Both Lester and Nathy were so concerned giving any medicine they had available, making hot drinks special meals soup etc I was very impressed to the passion they have for food and the attention which they give their guests The room was basic but comfortable and spotless The house stands out from it's neighbours in how well it is maintained It has a lovely secluded garden where some of the fruit and vegetable which were presented to us are grown

“Team Cuba Loves you Lester & Naty!”

My friend, her little girl (4.5yrs old) We travelled to Remedios for the Las Parrandas festival during christmas. Lester & Naty were so incredibly kind to us. Their knowledge of the town and surrounding areas was great, they organised tours for us and even made sure we got to Havana safe and sound to make our early flight.

The festival was a truly amazing experience and we were looked after so well. The food was spectacular, the best in cuba especially for this vegetarian! I wish we had longer to stay in Remedios, Lester, Naty and their friends will stay in our hearts forever.
